So the posts here on the legitimacy of sunnykart are so varied it's difficult to tell what the overall feeling is on Niko and his business practices.  20% off on a few UCS sets or expert sets, although rare, is not completely unheard of these days.  We've seen substantial discounts on sets such as ucs tie fighter, kwik e mart, etc from legitimate businesses.  We've seen jet.com be successful with what seems to be similar approach as well with discounts from promo codes to bulk purchases.  Some companies do take an initial loss on first purchases to get you in the door for future purchases.  Is that what is happening here or is it believed to be a more permanent shady practice?

Can we based on their record in their eBay review that it shouldn't be too bad of a business?

That seller should reconsider their username. Good deal - though it is listed as "opened once".

Would like something more than 20% off for such a long-lived set.

The questions with Niko are long-standing and almost legendary or a running joke at this point. The short version of the issue is this: For years, he's been selling/ drop shipping a large portion of Amazon's catalog on eBay for about the same price that Amazon charges. It's a mystery how he makes money, when most of us would be losing money under his model. He pays eBay fees on each transaction and presumably makes money long term. Today's 20% off coupon is just another chapter in a long novel.

Forgive me if I am on the wrong thread.  But has anyone bought from amazon warehouse deals a " acceptable " set.  I just got a TB for 162.00. I don't really care about the box. But I was wondering if any of y'all had an experience with a "acceptable " set.  Thank you

There are two Tower of Orthanc sets on Amazon for $239.99 each, which I think is the best price I've seen in a while for this retired set.

For $150 I'd be game. It would go nicely with my hoth setup!

I'd still fix the shield generator.
